Copying Multiple folders from source to destination

[vmaruv]

Hi,

How can I copy multiple directories from source to destination. My requirement is as follows :

When I browse the source, the contents of the source folder should be displayed and I should be able to select multiple folders. Later, i will browse for the destination folder and then click on the copy button. All the folders selected should be copied to the destination.

I am able to browse and select only one folder at a time. Is it possible to select multiple folders ?

Please help.

I guess you haven't had time yet to read the faq that I referred you to in thread222-1051283, which shows how to get the best from the forum. It would help you if you did so.

For this question use FSO or DIR to manually populate a listbox with multiselect set to True, then loop through the Selected Items

Hi john,

I did read the faq. Not able to figure out why my question is not relevant. I did a lot of search for this question of mine on the net and vb resources before I posted it here with a hope that i would get an answer. I am not looking for the entire code. I would just want to know if there is any specific property of function that I can lookup on the net for more info.

It would great help to me if you can tell me why my question does not follow the fourm norms. I will surely try to implement next time when I post any queries. As said earlier, I feel this form is like having a best friend who is a VB expert !!

Thanks again for you help.

I'm not really sure how to do it. Totally confused . Did not work with list boxes earlier...

Thanks a lot John. I am able to do it now using list boxes. I learnt the usage of listboxes and did it . The little clue you gave really worked for me.

I have another question regarding the directory copy. I have used FileSystemObject to perform the copy operation as :

fso.CopyFolder source, destination, True

The thing here is that the source directory structure is not preserverd in the destination.
For example I wish to copy a file from c:\source\test to c:\destination I want the destination to create a folder "source" and then a subfolder "test" and then at last copy the contents. This is not happening. my destination has just the contents but the structure is lost. Is there a way to do this ? Again, I did a lot of search on this but could not get simple way to do it.

Pleas suggest. Your clues / suggestions are really helpful in completing my project.

Thanks in Advance.

MkDir statement - creates a new directory
